I think it is more her PR
They also don't speak the most logical English like saying Rookie dance or sparring instead of hitting
I don't know why they just can't make it a favourite instead of re-uploading
Sue them

BlueTrees, that's lame that Ana's team took your video without giving you credit.

uhm, Australia is not the only country in the world that speaks English. While Donna's PR is in atrocious English, I haven't seen much of Ana's PR to judge. But "rookie" is a legit word for a newcomer to a sport.

Or should we all be saying chook and fair dinkum or fear being labeled "illogical" by chingching?

Croatia
Croatia was the team that piqued my interest since the moment the player lists came out. I wanted to chat with Donna Vekic (ranked #92 as a 16 year old) and Ana Konjuh (Junior AO singles + doubles champion; surname pronounced "Kon-yoo-ch") from the start, but the tight schedule and Croatia playing in parallel to Israel made the timing very difficult, and the long doubles match between Poland and Israel eventually prevented that interview from happening.

Ana Konjuh
At any rate, I had the opportunity to watch both girls play Poland, and I can say without any doubt that they were the team that impressed me the most, especially Konjuh who beat Urszula Radwanska 2-6 6-3 7-6(6) in the first promotional play-off match. Konjuh has a pro's game and a pro's attitude. Practically every shot that passed over the net hit a line or a corner - she hits very flat and nothing lands in the middle of the court. She has powerful ground-strokes and serve, and most impressively of all - she's playing calmly and absolutely quietly. There's nothing of a teenager in either her game or her behaviour, despite her young age. Watch the end of the third set tiebreak and Konjuh's reaction to the win: [the match point video]

Someone took something I said interestingly
The way it is used is completely illogical
"Ana Konjuh, Donna Vekic i Iva Majoli - Rookie dance on "Brad Pitt" (Severina)"
Is that a sentence you would commonly use in perfect American English
And when have I ever used such bogan language as fair dinkum

Well, nothing new has been said so it's probably what we discussed before - a period of preparation in February and then 15k's in Bath and Sunderland in mid March.

Btw, somehow I forgot to mention one detail regarding that last interview. In it Ana said (and showed) that she got a tattoo on her left forearm. It's a result of an agreement with her father, as he said she can get it if she wins AO. It shows the word faith and a cross and, as Ana said herself, it doesn't just represent the faith in God, but also in herself, her team and her family. Anyway, a small part of it is visible in one of the latest photos on this thread (where she's drinking from a bottle).
